About Speed Sensors

Many modern vehicles have a Nissan speed sensor. This sophisticated component is used to detect the speed of the vehicle and pass this information on to a variety of other components such as the anti-lock braking system, the cruise control system and the variable assist power steering system.

The majority of newer vehicles with a Nissan speed sensor will have a model that operates through a permanent magnet. The Nissan speed sensor will be mounted either in the vehicle’s rear differential assembly or in the transmission case. If the Nissan speed sensor is mounted in the transmission case it is most likely that it will be gear driven whilst a Nissan speed sensor mounted in the rear differential operates by means of a trigger wheel that is mounted with the ring gear.  Regardless of the location of the Nissan speed sensor mounting, the same information is collated and distributed electronically to other parts of the vehicle.

Because there are several tasks to which the Nissan speed sensor is integral, a faulty sensor might reveal itself in a variety of ways. If the cruise control stops working, the speedometer ceases to operate or the anti lock braking system begins to behave erratically, the source of the problem may well be a faulty Nissan speed sensor.

If this is the case it is essential to replace the faulty sensor to ensure that the functioning of all of those dependent components is restored.

Nissan trivia

  • Since 2018, Nissan has become the largest manufacturer of electric vehicles in the world. They have so far produced as many as 320,000 electric cars.
  • Most people think of the Skyline when they think of the Nissan, but the car featured in the Fast and the Furious franchise wasn't actually designed or built by Nissan. Instead, it was built by a car company called Prince, which Nissan merged with in 1966. The name Prince was phased out, and the Nissan Skyline was born.
  • The Nissan Patrol is a powerhouse of a vehicle, and currently holds the world record for a production car pulling an aircraft. The SUV wasn’t allowed any modifications to tackle this impressive feat, and managed to pull the 170-tonne plane a massive 50 metres.
  • Talk about a long drive, in 1964, the Nissan Cedric drove all the way from Greece to Japan as part of the Tokyo Olympics!
  • Nissan and the French manufacturer Renault have had a long and successful partnership, sharing technologies and manufacturing resources.
